golden Hampi, India - a photo on Flickriver

            Farmers harvesting golden rice in the beautiful landscape around Hampi. 
.
During my visit in November (2016) the golden rice was ready for harvest, trees lush and many flowers blooming along the small streams and irrigation canals. You can see them stretching in the distance. All set between the rocky hills with many somtimes surreal boulder formations. The only problem was the dust and haze on some days that reduced visibility a lot. Here on this day late afternoon it cleared up to reveal the country in this golden light. Quite a sight :)
.
Hampi was the capitol of the Vijayanagara Hindu kingdom in the early 16th century and by 1500 CE the 2nd largest city in the world after Beijing. The Vijayanagara empire was defeated by a coalition of Mughal sultanates, its capitol conquered and destroyed in 1565. Today the ruins of over 1,000 monuments, temples and fortifications are spread over a vast area in a rocky terrain with bizarre boulder formations, all designated as UNESCO World Heritage site.
